THE RIVER PRESS. FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. ,Date Meet. and the New Senators Sworn in and seated. wAsnisnics, December 2.—Little or eacitement attended the opening of a u j i ° 0 rifty-first congress on the senate side sli J t he public curiosity seemed largely ataasferred to the , house. The interest oo the floor was devoted largely to the senators from the new states. They had , ea ts . assigned them on the republican 3 - id e . Senator Casey of North Dakota, . 00 e a seat on the end of the second row 4 es1nst the north wall; directly behind hie' sat the Washington senators, Allen an d Squire, while Pettigrew and Moody, sonth Dakota. were in the fourth row s ear the center of the room. Senator pi e rce, or North end s eat in the fourth not present to -day. On the democratic side are two seats ,far unassigned. They are to be occu- pie d . by the senators from Mon tana.when they are chosen. At noon Vice President Morton entered -,be senate chamber. The chaplain open- e d the proceedings with prayer. The oath of (Ace was administered by the v ic e president to Senators Chandler of a;ov Hampshire and Nathan Dixon, of Rhcxle Island. The credentials of Petti- grew and Moody, of South Dakota, and Allen and Squires, of Washington were presented. Platt moved the oath of office be ad- ministered. The motion was agreed to, and the four new senators, escorted by a ,enator. proceeded to the clerk's desk amid applause from the galleries and took t he oath of office. Edmunds and Harris were appointed a ; ominittee to join a like committee from the house to inform the president that roogress is ready to receive any commu- nication he may choose to make. A resolution providing for the continu- ance of the select aommittee on the trans- portation and sale of the meat product was agreed to. Aldrich offered a resolution for the ap- pointment of a select committee of nine senators to be called the quadro-centan- nial committee, to which shall be referred all matters connected With the proposed -vlebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America. Mr. Hoar said it has been the custom of the senate to assign the new senators to :heir respective classes as soon as they !lad taken the oath, but now for the first - line the senators from three states en- :ered substantially at the same time. his assolution he said _proceeded the theory that senators stood on an entire equality vith reference to their opportunity to be assigned to the long or short term. The !act that the proclamations evidencing :he admission of the two Dakotas pre- !eded Washington by two days was due to the greater distance the returns from :he latter state had to come and it gave :he Dakotas no just title of priority. Mr. Vest inquired whether there was anything in the resolution in reference to Montana. a Dakota, has the row, but he was Nothing, replied Mr. Hoar. I do not anderstand that the senators from Mon- tana are here or likely to be here very soon. The senators from Montana will iose nothing by not being included in the resolution. After swearing in the new senators the senate adjourned. Wasnisuroar, December 4. --In the sen- ate Hoar reported back the resolution of- !ered by him on Monday providing a mode for ascertaining by lot the classes to which the senators from the three new states, North Dakota, South Dakota and Washington shall be assigned to their re- liective term of service. Cullom ,thereupon presented the cer- :iticates from the two houses of the North Dakota legislature designating Pierce as the senator for the long term. Hoar said the legislature had nothing :0 do with the matter which expressly - devolved upon the senate. Gorman remarked identically the case tad been presented in regard to the first ienator from Minnesota, when the legis- ature degignated Rice for the long term, and the senate decided that the action nuld not be regarded by it. The resolution was agreed to and the drawing by lot, as provided by it, pro- -eeded with. The result was that of the -we senators from the state of Washing - : 0 a, Squire was assigned to the class of *flatcars whose terms expire March 3, and Allen to the last expiring March Of the South Dakota senators, loody got the short term and Pettigrew :he long term, Of the North Dakota sen- tors Pierce got the short term and Casey he long. A Petition was presented by Cullom of heShort Horn Producer's association in avor of subsidies for steamships to South Central America and in favor of Chi- lite as the site of the world's fair in 1892. ''he first bill introduced in the senate - arne from Senator Sherman and was • , .-41 at trusts. It is identical with the trust bill reported by him last, year :1 the committee on finance. It de - As that all trusts are unlawful, and Persons the power to recoyer in the •rts whenever articles are advanced in 14 •••le by the combinations, and declares tthe officers of trusts are guilty of :den:leaner. A re l y : , • lution was introduced by Cock - for the Kansas City Commercial ex - 4 _ 0 . 11 ., e for St. Louis as the site of the ri els fair, with Chicago as second lir • n ee; also one in favor of one -cent let - Postage. \l anY bills were introduced and refer- ', incl •W • ing the folloa ing: By Sher - man, to make and alter the regulations as to the times, places and manner of holding elections for representatives in congress; by George, relating to trusts and other acts in restraint of trade and production; by Reagan, to define trusts, for the free coinage of silver, to repeal the act for the sale of bonds to redeem legal tender notes; by Dolph, that the states of Oregon, Washington and Mon- tana shall constitute the tenth judicial circuit, with a new circuit judge; also a bill for the forfeiture of a part of the Northern Pacific grant; also to repeal the pre-emption and timber culture laws. Senator Cullom introduced a bill for the disposal of all public lands of the United States in California, Oregon, Colo- rado, Nevada, Washington, Montana, North and South Dakota and in the states that may be formed of the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho and Alaska, and which shall not have been otherwise disposed of or reserved before the acceptance of this act by the states and the ratification by congress. It pro- vides that those lands shall be ceded to the states and the eventual states in which the lands lie on the condition that the state shall convey not more than eighty acres susceptible to reclamation by irrigation to any one settler. If the state shall elect to sell the lands the pro ceeds shall be used for the irrigation of such lands as may be remuneratively pro- ductive. If the land is given to the set tiers it is to be taxed and the proceeds applied to irrigation purposes. - RECOGNIZE BELA zit.. A suggeation that the New Republic be Giv- • en a Lift. Wa-setvvroe, December 4. -At the Brazilian legation in this city it was thought that Dom Pedro will estahlieh his residence in France, but it is not thought he will make any prolonged stay in one place, the emperor having a pen- chant for travel. His winters, in all prob- ability, will be spent in Nice and Cannes, where he has many friends. Minister Valente says he should not be surprised to see Dom Pedro make a visit to the United States if his health should im- prove, as he has a warm attachment for this country and many friends here. To- morrow is his birthday when he wil be SIXTY -POUR YF.ARS OF AGE. The coming message of the president to congress and the sessions of that body are looked forward to with considerable interest by Brazilians, who think it hard- ly possible that the president will not make some reference to the establishment of a republic in Brazil. It is felt that congress might with propriety and ulti- mate good to the United States, make some declaration of formal recognition of the new republic, which thus makes all countries in this hemisphere united in support of republican institutions. This recognition, it is said would give great encouragement to Brazil, and would coun- teract any influences which the European governments through zeal for their mon- archial establishments and friendship for the house of Braganza, might bring to bear for the purpose of interposing obsta- cles in the way of a Brazilian republic. A Vardiet Against Prohlbs. MASON CITY, Ia., December 2.—A jury returnde a verdict yesterday morning that the twenty-five barrels of cider seized by the sheriff on the 24th ult., and now in his custody must be returned to its owner. The result of the trial was a surprise to the prosecution, inasmuch as three doc- tors had testified that the stuff was hard and intoxicating. A mass meeting will be called at once to arouse the temper- ance workers. STILL IN FORCE. The Interior Department Holds That the Pre-emption Law is Not Repealed. WASHINGTON, December 3,—Assistant Attorney-Generai Shields, of the Interior Department, has given the Secretary of the Interior an opinion as to the effect of seventeenth section of the act admitting the new states, which refers to the act of 1841 (original preemption act) and repeals the same. As to the new states, he holds that taking the whole section together, the intention was not to repeal the pre- emption laws, but to make the grant of lands in lieu of the eighth section of the act of 1841, generally known as the inter- nal improvement grant, and to repeal that sectior/ as to the new states -that act of 1841 teas carried into the revised statutes and repealed in 1875, that if con gress had intended to repeal the pre-emp- tion laws it could have done so by repeals, ing sections of the revised statutes apper- taining thereto, or by an act or words so declaring and not by the repeal of the eld act of 1841, and that pre-emption laws as contained in the revised statutes ex- cept as to internal improvement grants, are still in force in the new states. stauley Enjoying Himself. LONDON, December 2.4 Zanzibar dis- patch to the London Herald says: \Hen ry M. Stanley, writing from Wikessi, un- der date of November % . tb says that his party are all well and enjoying the luxu- ries sent by Mai, Wissrnaun. Stanley complained that hi $ mails had been lost or stolen, but in a postscript dated Nov. 27th he announces that he received the consul's letters, and everybody rejoiced to hear that the queen is still reigning. He wants newspapers to learn events of the past three years. He expects to ar- rive at Bagamoyo Wednesday next and at Zanzibar Thursday.\ ARMOUR'S TESTIMONY. He Gives Some Pointy of Interest to Cattle- men, but Denies a Combine to Cut Down Prices of Reef Exists. WASHINGTON, November 30.—Senator Vest's committee, which has been investi- gating the dressed beef business of the country for some months, resumed the examination of witnesses to -day. There were present of the committee Senators Vest, Coke, Farwell, Manderson and Plumb, and a number of persons interest- ed as witnesses or otherwise. Among them was P. D. Armour, the Chicago beef and pork packer. Mr. Armour was the first witness. His business, he said, was that of a beef and pork packer. He de- nied being in the cattle business. He said he had been in the dressed beef bus- iness all his life and prices were lower now than they had ever been before. He attributed the decrease in price to over production rind over marketing. He de- nied that the Chicago market absolutely controlled the price of cattle. Mr. Ar- mour admitted that he was a &ember of the hog packing pool of 1886, but denied that he now has any agreement with any person as to the prices that shall be charged in certain districts. Re declined to answer the question as to whether there is ally agreement as to division of territory. CLOSELY QUESTIONED. \Did you and other firms not agree to divide contracts to furnish certain public institutions and then divide the receipts?\ asked Senator Vest. - Not to my knowledge.\ \Es it not a fact that your agent in Washington contracted to furnish beef.to the national insane hospital and then di- vide the contract with Other dressed beef men, not bidding against each other, but ahuttiug off local dealers?\ \Not to my knowledge.\ The witness went on to explain that such a thing would not be countenanced by the home office; it might happen in an agency, but he did not know anything of such an arrangement. \Have you any interest in the Chicago stock yards?\ \I have not, and never have had.\ \Rave you any private arrangement with any railroad or railroad association for reduced rates?\ \I have not. We have frequently had rates established for a year at a time, but they were open published rates. We had no advantage over others. So far as I know we never did have reduced rates on a railroad.\ Mr. Armour here introduced a state- ment of railroad rates. in which it was asserted that dressed beef shippers have never profited by the favoritism of rail- roads. Returning to the question of prices to the consumer, Mr. Armour said a butcher who catered to the best trade was compelled to ask a higher price for the best cuts. The prices of these had not declined as had the prices of the poorer parts. He said the beef packers did not enter into competi- tion with the retail butchers anywhere, except at their own packing houses. Mr. Armour explained that what he said about railroad rates referred to the time subsequent to the passage of the INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL. In answer to questions by Senator Plumb, Mr. Armour said that there has been a constant growth of the accumula- tion of cattle in the Chicago market. There are from fifty to one hundred buy- ers in the Chicago stock yards, and they, witness, said, enter into the same compe- tition as exists in other business. \We make no arrangements with anyone for fixing prices in buying cattle. My men go to the yards to bid and buy indepen- dent of others.\ As to the state or the market, Mr. Armour said if he were in the cattle business he would stay in it now; that he sees indications of a greatly improved condition of prices within the next three years. The senator again brought up the question of the competi- tion among packers. He asked Mr. Ar- mour if it was not a fact that when a buyer for Armour & Co. has made a bid for a certain lot of cattle, the buyers of other packers would not touch those cat- tle, \any more than if they had the small- pox.\ \Not at all; never in any case,\ re- sponded the witness. Senator Plumb remarked that they were prosperous flints for having been striking against each other so long. To this the witness responded that the busi- ness was open and that the packers would welcome new blood in the business. \I suppose you know,\ said the senator, \that cattlemen all over the country ut- terly disbelieve in this competition.\ Mr. Armour said if such a belief existed, and he admitted there was some such belief, it was due to false information concern- ing the condition of affairs. If any man does not believe it, witness was sure he would surrender his belief after visiting the stock yards and the packing houses, and studying the methods of business. Heading for the Kootenai. SPOKANE FALI.s, December 2.—The chief engineer of the Manitoba road left Kootenai station yesterday for Bosner's ferry, on the Kootenai river, to look over the country in the interest of his com- pany. It is understood the Manitoba con- templates building down the Kootenai river to Bonner's Ferry, thence south- westerly to Spokane Palls.

For instance the St. Paul, Minneapolis Si Manitoba Rai' way has over 3000 miles of road; magnifi- cently equipped and managed, it is one of the greatest railway sys- tems of this country; for the same reasons it is the traveler's favor- ite to all points in Minne- sota, North and South Dakota and Montana. It is the only line to Great Falls, the future manufact- uring center of the 'Northwest: to the fertile freellands of the Milk River VaLey; and offers a choice of three routes to the Coast. Still it is the shortest line between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Fargo, Winnipeg, Crooks- ton, Moorehead, Casselton, Glyndon, Grafton, Fergus Falls, Wahpeton, Devils Lake, and Butte City. It is the best route to Alaska, China and Japan: and the journey to the Pacific Coast, Vancouver.
